Can anyone provide the specs for the 10 AMP fuse that is required for this? Mine has blown and i am trying to buy replacement.

Unscrew the cap/ the end you plugin, and you should find a tube fuse with a spring, held in by the screwed down cap.

I buy mine at FRY'S Electronics. If your not in an area where there is one, a electronics parts store will have them. I am not 100% sure, but I believe you can also get them at Home Depot as these are widely used fuses. If all else fails go to Amazon and type in T10AH ceramic fuse or T10A ceramic fuse and you can find them there. Hope this is of some help.

I am not certain Mike, I never checked. The cap has changed on the replacement unit but I can only imagine that the fuse imbedded in the windings. I did not look close enough.

Sorry, I cannot answer the specific question. I do know that i simply replaced the original and it ran fine with no changes in the fuse, etc. Tom D.

I think it was the physical size in question not the amps. I measured one a and it was a little under 1.25" which is around 30mm. I've got some AGC fuses ordered somewhere else and the match up exactly in size with those so I'd say it's a standard size.

I would NOT buy this product. Mine is brand new, used it twice and blew the fuse in my car twice. It is now collecting dust in my garage.

10 amp. in a fuse link should be fine. If it pops after extended run time, bump it up to a 15 amp. Remember the fuse should be the weakest point in the circuit so any fuse should be OK if you use the right wiring and nothing gets warm.

You can look it up online or in your manual. It looks like it's 15 amp. Also it would be good to check if there are many functions powered by the same fuse because that could cause issues.

I think that the fuse is a safety feature, and is not really intended to be replaced. I would think that if it shorted out badly enough to blow the fuse, that it was damaged and unsafe to use.

So I'm not sure exactly sure but I hooked it up to a 2 AMP fuse. I did this because i took apart the car charger (the one that came with my radar detector) and inside of it it had a 2 AMP fuse. I figure that's what i should use.

Here is a link to where you can purchase the replacement fuses for the VC500W voltage converter:5 Qty. GMA 5A Fast-Blow Fuse 5 Amp 250v GMA5A, GMA5Here is the ASIN in case the link does not work: B004HLV372

The manual says, "Use only with 12v/10A power source." It blew a 20A fuse in my car. I replaced it and it hasn't blown again.

Radio Shack should be able to fix you up...the manual should give power specs so they can get you the right amperage and so on

These are standard car fuses and the amp ratings are for 12 volt DC circuits. To use for other voltages would require a calculation to determine the amp rating of each fuse. You know the formula is: watts are equal to amps times volts. So a 120 watt load at 12 volts is the max for a 10 amp fuse. Now that same fuse in a 24 volt system with a 120 watt load would max out at 5 amps.

Maybe something isn't hooked up right and a fuse blew...same thing happened to me I had a blown fuse..changed the fuse and its been great ever since

I didn't get a fuse. I did replace the heating element along with this. It worked great.

My whole housing melted connected to 15A circuit so I never got the chance to replace it. If it is not a must need return it for something that expressly states the Amps you need on the housing.

The current draw on this is pretty small so you are mainly adding a fuse to protect in the event of a direct short. I would think 10 Amp would be more than enough.
